Helo. I'm from Asia in a long distance relationship with a guy from Europe. I need some advise to know how to deal with a shy and quiet type of guy?
In the first month getting to know: My bf claimed and said: "Woman makes me shy... I may have fond interest in her but the moment I start to speak I am unable to express myself".
In the second month with my constant and chatty self, my bf has come out from his shyness and has been very expressive of his feelings for me (I'm happy). He has mentioned the L word and has desire to have serious and committed relationship with me that would lead to marriage... I was taken aback by surprised and accepted it as I have began to love him. We both in our 40s and stabled in our career and well read i dont think he is the beating around the bush type.
In the third month we had small disagreement. I asked: "What do you want me to do when you are angry?" He replied: "I am usually the quiet type".
Since then he has reduced the L words to me and hasnt replied my emails as frequent as he used to be also has been a bit more distance.. very few words back to how we started in the first month.
My concern is what must I do to gain back his trust in me and be his loving self that I loved in the second month? I like to bring back the sparkles in our relationship. I know this very premature and like all relationships it needs to be nurtured with love, tender and care. I like to work out this relationship and like to know if he is still interested in me or just saying the things I want to hear.
